The modern visual artist must as aware of history as well as of the times in which we live now; RUFA helps its students to combine art, future, and profession into a single project. The professional scenarios that then open to students who have taken their Ba Degree in the painting are visual arts, graphic art, and painting as pure artistic expression.

Anyone of these artistic sectors will be able to pick them out thanks to the high level of their training in the visual arts, aesthetics, the phenomenology of the contemporary arts, and the organization of art spaces and concepts.
